Brazilian artist Layla Motta opens her first US exhibition, on view until June 30th, at Focal Point Gallery in Bronx, NY. In a documentarist approach, Motta spent two months photographing residents of City Island in their domestic environment. The works’ seductive natural lighting, and Motta’s keen eye for composition involve her subjects in a captivating manner that reveal their intimate settings as a landscape mapping their own imaginary.
